5 Rules and ExamplesWhen we have ONE verb in the sentence, The order of the words in the sentence is:(S)-IOP-DOP-VRemember that Indirect Objects can be redundant in a sentence, that is, we can have the pronoun and the whole thing written out. However, the pronoun must always be in the sentence. So, “su esposo” is the optional part in this example, not “le”.Direct Obj.Indirect Obj.¿Ana le trae regalos a su esposo?Sí, se los trae siempre.Yes, she always brings them to himIndirect Obj.Direct Obj.Ustedes nunca me dicen la verdad.You never tell it to me.Ustedes nunca me la dicen.

8 When we have two verbs…We can have both pronouns before the conjugated verb like we learned before, or we can attach them to the non-conjugated one. In both cases the IOP always precedes de DOP.Jorge me quiere mandar unas floresJorge me las quiere mandar.Jorge quiere mandármelas.
